Litchfield County Board of REALTORS®, Inc. proudly celebrated the 75th anniversary of our Board's charter on November 30, 2009, at Cornucopia Banquet Hall, with over 200 members, past members and friends of the Board in attendance! Several "trips" down memory lane were taken with the presentation of photos spanning many decades, a review of our past Presidents and REALTOR® of the Year recipients, fun facts about the year 1934, a short history of the evolution of NAR, LCBR, trivia questions pertaining to LCBR and the real estate industry and testimonials from former REALTOR® member Evelyn Lukes and former Real Estate Commissioner Larry Hannafin.
How
it All Began During the celebration Senator Kevin Witkos presented Litchfield County Board of REALTORS, Inc. with a Proclamation signed by Governor M. Jodi Rell proclaiming November 30, 2009 as Litchfield County Board of REALTORS Day and Mayor Ryan Bingham presented Litchfield County Board of REALTORS®, Inc with a Declaration, signed by Mayor Bingham, for our 75th Anniversary. We would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to everyone involved in presenting these wonderful gestures; we are deeply honored to receive such recognition.
